Flyrob Thought about fishing the Port Deposit Striped Bass Tournament Saturday but when I saw 4 spill gates open Friday night I decided against it. They had 3 gates open on Saturday. Like Mudpup I did some work around the house too. 3 months ago

More good news...Susky at HBG is running crystal clear and is back down to 6.5 ft.

mudpuppy EEER. I'm on the verge of using the "bad words" that my mother told me never to use...LOL. Just drove over the Susky up here and it is running higher than normal but no mud. At least there's no spill gates open...YET. If I had a boat with an... Show more 5 months ago

mer47 Yeh we just c an't get a break with this water, I hope this isn't going to be like last year. Wow Mike good too hear nothing broken not good !!! 5 months ago

Flyrob Thanks for the info Mike. Seem odd that they are running spillers with levels only slightly elevated. The good news is the discharge water doesn't look really dirty so once they're out of spill the river should clean up fast. Hopefully our injuries... Show more 5 months ago

mudpuppy Thanks Rob, best news this week. I have not heard of much happening on the flats just yet. With water temps gradually rising (and hopefully clearing) it shouldn't be too long until things break loose. 5 months ago

Rest in peace Joe Yack....

liquidaddicted Man I’m sorry to hear that. Used to run into Joe walleye fishing down at the dam and talked to him some at the winter shows. Nice guy and a wealth of knowledge about fishing the upper bay. RIP 6 months ago

Flyrob Just seeing this... and super bummed... I can't tell you how much I learned from Joe over the years about Walleye fishing and fishing the Susquehanna River in general and volumes of witty fishing adages. One of my favorites "Hard to know the mind... Show more 6 months ago

mudpuppy Only met and fished with Joe a few times in the last couple of years. Joe was a wealth of knowledge for sure and was always a lot of fun to fish with whether we were catching or not. I will miss him. 6 months ago

Wild Bill Terrible late flats season Rob. Makes you wonder if the fish will show at all in good numbers. I would have a little more confidence near the Sass. Been wanting to try it but the mud keeps coming. 10 months ago

Flyrob I have my doubts that we will get a fall run at all?? Another day of rain is certainly not helping! 10 months ago

Capt. Chris Tried the Sass yesterday. Water a little better than the flats, but not a lot of bites. Just a few shorts. Omar was there too, and did about the same. Still hoping we will get a fall bite! 10 months ago

Flyrob Thanks for the update CC...I love your optimism! Me too! 10 months ago

Fished the flats today from 8 - 2. Very windy, nasty chop and some 2 ft rollers. Water was very stained, 52 - 54*. Caught a few small WP and 1 16"... Show more

mudpuppy Been a tough year for decent water and weather, Rob. At least the YOY report was a good one. Let's hope that November is filled with bluebird days and 30" stripers... 10 months ago

ward3342 Same old mud on the flats we have had for weeks. Have seen lots of breaking fish on the western coming out of the park early in morning. Don't know size or what they are. 10 months ago

mudpuppy Thanks ward. Was down last week and had about 6" visibility. Was hoping it cleared up some by now. No buoy data and the satellite imagery has not been very clear. Might try farther south. 10 months ago
